He'll be the first to tell you that. But he knows Bluegrass. And his rule of thumb? Five years in the cellar takes it from consistently good to consistently great. The 2023 Bluegr

Sourced from the Follett Family Vineyards in Langhorne Creek. Two single blocks: Gum Tree and 44R. Picked in the cool of the evening. Long, slow skin contact before ferment. 18 months in predominantly American oak with around 20% new. A wine with serious depth, fine tannin structure

Wine Food Pairing: New vs Aged Bluegrass
What happens when you taste a 2023 red wine next to the same wine from 2017? The tannins soften, the flavours deepen and you finally understand what cellaring actually does. Wendy Laureti, owner of Saddler's Creek Wines in the Hunter Valley, sits down with resident Chef Mattia "Chiero" Secchiero and new Cellar Door Manager Justin Bourke to walk you through the Bluegrass Wine and Food Pairing experience. Three brackets. Three dishes. Each bracket pairs a current release Bluegrass with its cellar-aged counterpart so you can taste the transformation side by side. From slow-cooked beef cheek with Shiraz, to chocolate pasta tortello with venison and tonka bean alongside the Cabernet Shiraz, to herb and garlic lamb saddle with truffle and the Cabernet Sauvignon, every dish is designed to bring out the best in both the new release and the aged wine. This is comfort food elevated. Bold wines with bold flavours. Daily at 12pm at Saddler's Creek Wines, Pokolbin. 👀 In This Video ✅ Three bracket
